Ingredients: AI-inferred — not yet verified

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation is a high-performance, full-coverage matte foundation with an impressive shade range. Note: The ingredient list was inferred based on the published standard global formulation. The formula features hydrating ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and glycerin alongside oil-controlling polymers and silicones. Points are deducted primarily for undisclosed fragrance, BHT (a low-dose antioxidant with debated endocrine disruptor concerns), potential 1,4-dioxane trace contamination from ethoxylated compounds (PEGs), and synthetic polymers that contribute to environmental persistence.

A strong-performing foundation for oily and combination skin types who prioritize shade matching and long-wear coverage. Those with reactive, hyper-sensitive, or fragrance-intolerant skin may want to opt for fragrance-free alternatives.

Be cautious if

Fragrance-sensitive users, dry skin types, and those avoiding ethoxylated compounds or synthetic fragrance.

Against your clean standard

Conditional: Safe for general use at permitted concentrations, but falls short of strict 'clean cosmetics' benchmarks due to undisclosed fragrance, ethoxylated emulsifiers, and BHT.

Does Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation contain parabens, sulfates or fragrance?

A straight yes or no for the ingredient groups people most often want to avoid, checked against this product's published formulation.

  • Free from parabens

    Preservatives; the longer-chain ones (propyl, butyl) carry the endocrine questions.

  • Free from sulfates (sls / sles)

    Strong cleansing agents that can strip a compromised barrier.

  • Contains silicones

    Found: dimethicone, peg-10 dimethicone, cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone. Slip and occlusion; cyclic silicones (D4/D5/D6) are the environmentally restricted ones.

  • Contains fragrance / parfum

    Found: parfum/fragrance. Undisclosed fragrance blends are the most common trigger for sensitised skin.

  • Free from essential oils

    Naturally derived, but among the most frequently reported contact allergens.

  • Contains drying alcohol

    Found: phenoxyethanol. Fine in small amounts for texture; high up the list it can dehydrate.

  • Free from formaldehyde releasers

    Preservatives that slowly release formaldehyde.

  • Free from chemical uv filters of concern

    Restricted or debated filters with endocrine or reef-persistence questions.

Is Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation non-comedogenic?

No ingredients in this formulation appear on Selenssa's common pore-clogger list, so it is unlikely to be the cause of congestion for most people. Comedogenicity is still individual — texture, occlusion and how much you use all play a part.

Is Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation safe for sensitive skin?

Usually tolerated, but patch test if your skin reacts easily.

  • Contains fragrance or parfum
  • Contains a drying alcohol

Ingredients worth knowing about: Parfum/Fragrance, BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene).
